Raffaella Sini examines the historical evolution of the genre, exploring theory, narratives and strategies employed in over 80 worldwide temporary garden case studies built throughout France, Germany, Spain and Portugal, Italy, Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and the United States.
The last few years have seen a surge in temporary gardens. The flexibility, ephemerality and new challenges of this instillation type have made non-permanent landscapes a creative and stimulating testing ground for designers. In this book, Raffaella Sini explores some of the theory, narratives and strategies employed in over 50 worldwide temporary garden case studies ranging from urban guerrilla gardening to garden festivals. By using this short-term format, designers can invent, trial and experiment in a condensed experience of landscape, creating some of the most exciting innovations in contemporary landscape design. Inspirational reading for designers and students alike.
